Am
There's a hot hard hurt burning under her skin
And it pricks her like thorns and it's needles and pins
And it twists in her body and I know what it is
DAmD
And I'm paying in pain, it's the cost of the high
AmD
Till the weight of the secret and the weight of the lie
AmD
Makes my heart want to burst, feel the ache as time goes by
AmD
Getting better and worse, getting better and worse
AmD
And there's a screw that I tighten as I dream of the kiss
AmD
And it twists and it cuts me and you know what it is?
FG
It's a fragment of love from a splintering heart
FG
And it tears her apart, yeah, but not as much as this
AmDAmDAmDAmDAmDAmD
So you save up your tears for the moments alone
AmDAmD
Till the splinters you gather leave you glass-hard and numb
GmEbmaj7DmCm
And the same sun is shining on the old and the young
GmEbmaj7DmCm
On the saints and the sinners, on the weak and the strong
GmEbmaj7DmCmGmEbmaj7DmCmGmEbmaj7GmEbmaj7FGmEbmaj7GmDmGmCmEbFGmEbmaj7GmDm
And there's a burning and freezing and a cross for a kiss
GmCmEbF
So she learns to stop dreaming and you know how it is
GmEbmaj7GmDm
With these fragments of love and this splintering heart
GmCmEbFGm
With the fragments and this splintering heart
